Hi experts,

Can some one please throw some light on parallel payroll testing. I am looking out for advantages and disadvantages of doing it.

We do not have any plans to do parallel payroll testing as the production system is loaded with lot of interfaces and the other system runs out of live data. please throw some general pros and cons to avoid doing this.

Regards,

Aries.

Advantages? #1...you have one run as your "control" (ie. it worked before) to measure/gauge/compare your "new" run with....they should match up....meaning "success!!!!!".

Disadvantages? Really?!?!? You "run with scissors"....your "new" run has issues/problems.....no one gets paid correctly....you don't find out till weeks later because you had nothing to really compare against.....and that is just the START!

Good stuff and one of the big disadvantages you missed as the customer realizing VERY quickly their "consultants" had no clue what they were doing 🙂

Depending on how quickly they realize it, that could actually be an advantage as well. hahahaha
